Oh be still, oh be quiet
Let the sun fade into night
No sounds, no light
Like flies in a jar, we are mostly harmless

Give me whiskey, give me wine
And an unfaithful sky
Give me scars so dark
I will have no choice but to remember

Punish me with the cruelest summer
And let regret swell inside
Let it strike, let it strike my body fast
Like a king cobra, let it take over
It will be quicker than any movement
Our bodies could offer

Punish me with the cruelest summer
Terrify me with silence
Make me desperate
Let me wake alone, make me cry rivers
You can rest your head at night
Knowing I deserved this

Black flies in a jar
I am mostly harmless
Except for this vanishing hour of darkness
